@MKLNRB It became viral when single Chinese women were posting videos dressing them up and taking care of them like real children. Then internet trolls started posting videos abusing them. Now they are banned in Chinese schools and the government is looking into the manufacturer.
🚨🇺🇸 Breaking: An NYT journalist just had her residence permit revoked in China.
The Western media is already framing it as arbitrary expulsion. But the foreign ministry’s account tells a different story.
According to spokesperson Lin Jian, the reporter had been deceiving people into giving interviews without their knowledge, a direct violation of China’s regulations on foreign media operations. Her permit was revoked under existing law, not on a whim.
There is context here that gets lost in the outrage.
The New York Times gave Taiwan authorities a platform to push separatist rhetoric and referred to China’s Taiwan region as a “country.” That is a clean violation of the one-China principle and the three joint communiqués. It is not a grey area. The ministry told the paper to correct its mistakes. The paper chose not to.
Meanwhile, the US has been running what it calls “reciprocity,” which in practice means political suppression of Xinhua journalists working legally in America. Chinese reporters’ applications for US assignments are rarely approved. In the other direction, China has shown flexibility, providing visa facilitation for numerous American journalists coming to report.
The asymmetry is not subtle. One side facilitates. The other obstructs. But the media narrative only ever flows one way.
The facts of this case are straightforward. The root problem is Washington’s pattern of politicising media issues and then crying foul when the mirror gets held up.
China’s position is consistent. Foreign journalists who follow the rules are welcome. Those who don’t, aren’t. That is how every country operates. The difference is that when China enforces its laws, it becomes a story about press freedom. When the US does it, it is national security.
The NYT should fix its reporting.
The US should honour the understandings it reached with China on media treatment.
All old recycled "Uyghur genocide" & China in Africa are "bad" propaganda is being pushed again by the Epstein regime. They're paying influencers & sock puppet accts to spread it. They ignited it w/ an old trend started by Japan, squishy stress relief dolls & trying to twist it.
@IAmDouglasKim@dom_lucre Found the original video. They actually had a good time together, also with the parents together. And she also responded to the deceptive editing: It's malicious editing and taking things out of context, in an attempt to stir up racial antagonism.
@PhilipHend57757 That's why we made trump go to China to bend the knee and kiss the ring? Our position in the world was paid for with our own blood fighting and defeating the whites. The entire point of China showing the alternative way to development is to show you don't have to cow to white ppl
@DjehutySpeaks@MatNuclear Asians weren't granted business loans. We set up private citizen to citizen loans from people who were here before whom had to pay cash.
@DjehutySpeaks@IAmDouglasKim@MatNuclear Whites didn't allow Asians to be anything. The honorary Whites thing only happened after we beat the brakes off them in Vietnam and Korea, then we started developing our countries. It was their last coping mechanism because they had to believe they were better than POC.
